William Faulkner. The Snopes Trilogy, three first editions.
The Hamlet. New York: Random House, 1940 First trade edition, first printing (stated) on copyright.
Black cloth lettered in gold; top edge stained red, publisher's pictorial jacket. Color pictorial title page. Jacket minor extremity wear, small piece missing from bottom/top of spine, price clipped; in a mylar protective wrapper. Second issue dust jacket with reviews on the rear jacket rather than the "Recent and Forthcoming" titles.
The Town. New York: Random House, 1957. First Edition, First Printing. Near Fine in a Very Good Dust Jacket. Publisher's cloth in dust jacket with grey top-stain. Bindings are tight and square. Text clean, light even toning. Minimal shelf handling wear. First State, with line 8 repeated on line 10 on page 327. The second state dust jacket is with the price of $3.95 correct but missing the 5/57 at bottom of front flap.
The second novel in Faulkner's celebrated Snopes trilogy and the havoc they wreak on the town of Jefferson. A Faulkner classic, revealing many of the themes of the American South which are partly drawn from the author's experience of the Great Depression.
The Mansion. New York: Random House, 1959. First Edition, First Printing. Very Good in a Very Good Dust Jacket. Blue cloth with gold lettering on the front board and the spine, light blue endpapers and pastedowns, yellow topstain. Bindings are tight and square. Text clean, light even toning. Moderate shelf handling wear. First state dust jacket is unclipped and in a new clear protective mylar wrapper. Has the first state publication code, 10/59, on inside flap. This is the only book of the three with a former owners signature on flyleaf page.
"The final novel of the Snopes Trilogy is the 'final chapter of, and the summation of, a work conceived and begun in 1925. There is no other such sustained trilogy dealing with small-town life in America; it is, of course, a major achievement and constitutes a large portion of Faulkner's general portrait of his mythic but very real Yoknapatawpha County and its town of Jefferson."
Faulkner won the 1949 Nobel Prize for Literature for his powerful and artistically unique contribution to the modern American novel. Faulkner won two Pulitzer Prizes and two National Book awards.
